Maresias, Brazil
By jctail, 2008-04-20 16:00:00 Long Drive
We rented a car last minute and drove down on a Sunday. Should have prepared more but everything worked out really well.
No one speaks English so renting a board was a pain in the @$$. We were able to rent two boards a 7' 6" fun More...
Maresias in June July?
Was thinking of coming down with my family, renting a house, and trying to catch a few. How are the crowds that time of year? What is the water temp like? Is the beach/town nice for little kids (4 and under)? What would it cost to hire (in $) help with my large family?

Marecas 4ever
When South swells pumps big, Maresias (or "Marecas" for those from São Paulo) is the place to be. If they come when East winds are blowing, you're a lucky man. On big days, unless you're being towed-in, be prepared to paddle like a madman and get some bone-cracking shakes (no canals). These photos are great and all but it should be noted that Maresias is not particularly consistent. Generally, you may spend quite a few days there without catching any waves. 2006 was definitely a unusually big year. Hopefully the swells will keep pumping in 2007! Peace.
